Residents opposed to the law say it's the details of the
city's planned ordinance that restrict their rights and go against state law. One
of the issues residents have is a provision that only allows for medical
marijuana use within "20 percent of a person's home," among others.

"We all know that Jackson has a big problem with
prescription drugs, yet you want to criminalize marijuana," area resident
Vivian Curl said to council members. "The people — the same people that elected
you — voted this medicine in. We have a choice and a freedom, respect that."
